Before that, Dries Mertens served Victor Nelsson on the first goal of the “Gala” (16th). In the 38th minute, he doubled the lead for Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup. A magnificent gesture that allows him to score his fourth goal of the season. Above all, this goal allows his club to pass the next round in the Cup. Decisive, the striker is therefore important for his club and has perhaps not said his last word in the national team.
In the second half, Alanyaspor was more enterprising but its effectiveness remained limited to the goal scored at close range by Ivan Cavaleiro (67th, 1-2).
